Make it a Fairmont speeder and I'm in for at least one.
But as for what Butch said (siderquoted below) about it be ing a tight squeeze in S scale... well, maybe not... expecially when you con what Railflyer Model Prototypes has accomplished in HO scale : Individually powered AXLES on HO trucks with separate motors that actually resemble real traction motors! See for yourself in the following videos: http://www.railflyermodel.com/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wq65RM8L6b0&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUtIKAWPmZY There are other videos on YouTube about these motors, so check them out, too. If this can be done in HO, surely it can be done in S. And just think of all the room it would free up insi de the shell and fuel tanks for DCC/Sound/Speaker combos!!!

A powered speeder in S scale? Yes! Rich Yoder offered one in "O" several years back that used a powered trailing car to push the speeder. Looked great running around on club layouts at shows!!! Always got a lot of oohs and aaahs whenever it was running. It was pretty tight squeezing everything in, in O scale, so I imagine you'll have some challenging times ahead.
